Apologies to the good lady!her age
I've always liked that about cats; they absolutely don't go for anything like a "weaker sex" among themselves.

But Tigers are also known to give right of way whenever they encounter a male boar. Very reasonable of them too, since that's a piggy with quite and attitude. They may not look like classical fighters, but are in fact built like brick sh!it-houses, with tusks like daggers. They have both size, speed, tremendous power and a bad temper. The Tiger has little to gain and everything to lose from picking a fight with one.
So, pigs FTW.

A cat would win easily. For one, a cat can use it's front paws AND teeth as a weapon. Dogs are not that dexterous. Hell, my German Shepard use to run into walls when playing fetch. Smart animal.. weighed a good 100 lbs, but was not agile to dexterous in the least bit.
That and her (the German Shepards) first experience with my cat ended up in a win for the cat. Were talking about a 100 lb. dog vs a 15 lb. cat here. She just didn't want to get her face close enough to those claws to take a chomp.

A pitbull couldn't even get close enough to bite a cat of equal size. Remember that these are animals that spend a lot of time pulling it's entire weight up a tree with it's front legs. A normal 10 lb. house cat can leave some nasty scratches on someone stupid enough to make it mad. I'd hate to see what a Lynx or Mountain Lion would do.
A Pitbull (around ~40 lbs.)

A bobcat (around ~30 lbs.)

Thats a bad comparison Strider, because the pitbull had an advantage. For it to be fair, you'd have to take some bobcats.... and selectively breed them for about 500 years, basing your selection on strength and aggression.
That's what has been done to create the pitbull...... so for the comparison to be fair, you'd need some sort of artifically created super-bobcat.
Seeing as a regular bobcat would probably rip the dog to pieces with ease... breeding a super-variant it just going to make it even more one-sided.
Cats are top predators in pretty much every enviroment they exist in.... Dogs aren't naturally the top predators anywhere really.

Equal weight, face to face - the cat would wimp out. Dogs are generally more determent and have a stronger bite.

My German shepherd can take out a 80 pound cat.

Well yes. They tend not to hunt things that fight back too much.
Dogs are weird beasts due to human intervention. This among other things goes to ending up fighting things for reasons that makes no sense whatsoever, from a doggy POV.
Cat's haven't been interfered with like that. A cat will only fight when it has something at stake. If not, it will just leave. Fighting dogs usually makes zero cat-sense. A dog might fight things becase, well, it just hasn't got a better idea what to do with itself, outside this concept of fighting things in general humans put there.
(Like that pitbull in Gothenburg a couple of years ago some schmuck had trained to rip rabbits to pieces. Well, his new GF's infant in the cot made a squeal like a rabbit... You can work out the rest, which was very messy. They just couldn't stop the dog from doing what people had put in its mind.)
Otoh, an old shepherd's trick to discipline a dog that has taking a liking to killing lambs is to lock it up for a while with 1 lamb + said lamb's mommy. Then you pull the dog out when Mommy sheep has spent enough time head-butting it to within an inch of its life. The lesson is usually remembered.
Given the right incentive, lots of things will kick dog-ass in a 1-on-1 situation. Don't mess with the pack under any circumstances though.

All my dogs do, two are maltese terriers, one's an irish wolfhound (to be expected) and the other i can't remember but pound for pound id still have to give it to a cat.

The Cat would win if it was equal weight...

Man, that's a horrible story! That dumb SOB really learned his lesson though I figure, it sucks it had to come at such a cost to an innocent though.

are you kidding me a pitbull would destroy a bobcat if it could catch one because bobcats are very skiddish
You can't be serious.Unless your dog has a gun... I can't think of any scenario where your dog could kill a small female jaguar:
Well the Dog IS man's best friend, so i guess its allright to lend him some equipment and teach him how to use it....
Come kitty kitty kitty...

That dog look really unprepared to handle that weapon. Like, even more unprepared than most dogs would be.

Jaguars do not weigh 80 pounds, the ones that do cannot.
